UE4 Tutorial: Local Volumetric Fog

I'm not even following the tutorial (or need it), but still found myself watching. Keep up the good videos! :)

why is particle pulsing?

You want to multiply your two cloud textures for the best result. Otherwise this is a fantastic tutorial!

Thanks for making this! I figured out how to make fog, thanks to you!

Great tutorial. I've adopted this approach but am having the issue that when the player moves away from the particle system - the fog cloud fades out and disappears. I would like the fog cloud to remain no matter what the camera distance from it. There must be some occlusion setting for this i am just not finding?

Is there a way to disable global fog and just have the fog in one localised area? I've noticed that adding an Exponential Height Fog actor to my landscape, it adds a global haze to everything alongside the localised particle system. I can't find a way to remove the global haze in a way that doesn't also remove the localised fog effect. Any idea how to achieve this?

Update for Niagara?

tank you !! after many videos I finally managed to make fog !! thank you very much!

tut was great--feel like I've been looking for this for a year!
everything was working well until I suddenly got these error x3018's for VolumetricCloud and VolumetricFogVoxeliztion invalid subscript vertex id

Some reason it won't even show up. I assemble the tree, create the parent, and no fog appears at all.

Thanks for this. It’s super cheap like you said which is perfect. Unfortunately when I scale up to large values (10000) it breaks , is it a buffer issue ?

Hey Man, I am trying to apply your tutorial in ue5 but appears no bottom for Particle system ! Any clue ?

Could you line the border of a large online multiplayer map with these fog particles without it costing too much on the system?

Great video, can you show us how to make volumetric fog masking? like if there is some sort of fog repeler and it just masks the volumetric fog area to be visible?

You have an English accent yet you spell colour the American way?

Doesn't work as of 4.27; followed the first steps to a T and no fog when placing the PS on the world.

Much obliged!

Great tutorial! How do you suggest I do this for my entire map/landscape?

Niagara update?

Doing this in the new 5.0 Beta, the Sexy Godrays are there but so friggin faint they're hard to see/notice unless looking for them. Anyone have any ideas?

hi , can i know why my particle system didnt show anything when i drag it into the editor ?

If you've done everything right until the particle system, but still see nothing, press Alt+F in your viewport to show Fog, as it is probably disabled by default ;)

"And if we make the fog white, it's gonna be very...yeah very desaturated"

oh

effectexturemaker is a great way to go thru this tut

Thanks man! My fog is black due to scene settings I have no idea of. Do you know what could cause it? :)

Mine Doesn't Appear, It Just Goes Invisible, Make A Proper Tutorial Please

Hi, Is This Mobile Friendly?

Super great guide - I'm paying an obscene amount of money to a university and learned more following your tutorial than I have in 8 weeks of class. Thanks man!

i dont know why but my particle isnt working, it isnt showing me anything

Make sure you turn on Volumetric fog in your exponentialHeightFog or else it won't show up.

Anyone having the issue where the shader-complexity is sky-high? Did his just not show up on the older version of UE4?

Can you make a tutorial on how to make a local sand/snow storm because there is 0 to non info to find on that

your links not free

You link a download to a texture pack but we have to pay for it to use it??

does this have to be in a sphere? could it be a cube?

Sooo how can I use this but also use Volumetric Clouds? The VC and the Exponential Height Fog seem to cancel each other out :/

Hey mate,
thanks for the video very helpful. I have question tho..... I'm trying to use this tutorial to make shifting nebula formations in a space environment I am working on.
Everything works as in your video but the fog only appear on camera when you are really close to it. I want these particle systems to be background elements and so far away from the camera. Is there a setting somewhere to increase visibility in regards to distance from camera?>?>

Does this work with 4.24? When I add the particle system into my scene it doesn’t show up. Volumetric fog in exp height fog is checked.

Exactly what was looking for. Straight and to the point also!
Thank you.

Jesus, i was watching somebody elses 3 part tut on vol fog, then i saw yours in the suggestion list ... and its not only just 1 shorter video but its 1000 x better, that other guy was spwning 500 fog particles ..wtf RIP FPS !!! lol When he said he gonna spawn the max cpu particles i was like ... ok this guy is clearly not knowing wtf he is doing XD thx man yours works PERFECT with just 5 particles

I have followed the steps, but I do not see any fog at all. It is transparent, totally transparent for me; any ideas?

How do adjust the resolution/voxel count on this?

Please tell me you offer mentorships!

This is the easiest way.... and no one really uses it, because it is too demanding for the graphic cards and if you stay in that area for too long, it can overheat the PC

I followed the tutorial and my shader complexity view is bright red...am i missing something?

Not work for me.(4.25.3) Particle system doen't spawn fogcloud particles. If you want fix this, adding exponential heightfog, checking volumetric fog value to true. that is a working

I follow along by my shader gets pretty white and red.

For people who seeing nothing when put the Particles into the scene, the solution is: you forgot to put 1 in Default Value in the Extinction param ! :)

Oh wow !! Excellent technique I’m amazed !! Thank you for sharing !!
